What if I am infected with HIV?
January 1st, 2019! I was found to be HIV positive! Bearing the news alone for a day and a night, afraid to show it in front of my parents! Cried secretly at night! Spoke to my parents the next day! The family cried for a long time in the hospital room! So far! The whole family has accepted the fact! If there are any thoughts! My thoughts now are! Work hard to stay alive! Spend more time with my mom and dad! Spend more time with the people who care about me! If there's a hope that a cure for HIV will come out! That would be God's favor to me! As for what some people call revenge! I've never thought about it! The past can't be changed! Whatever the reason for my infection! It doesn't matter anymore! There are no pills for regret! You only live once! On January 15th! I was discharged from the hospital! It's good to be home! The old me is dead! Now I am! I have to live for those who care about me! I'll keep taking my medicine! I just pray that God will let me go well and give my mom and dad a good old age before taking me away!
If you know that you have been infected with AIDS, firstly, you will be scared and think that you can't live, but you can't die at the moment, you still have to live. Secondly, you should get the knowledge of AIDS prevention and treatment in time, understand the national policies and regulations about AIDS, know what you can do and what you can't do, and can't do whatever you want to do. Third, timely find a specialist to help themselves, further check the indicators, ask the doctor according to their own situation, develop a detailed diagnosis and treatment program, regular review, with drugs to block the transmission of the virus, improve their own immunity, better control of the condition. Fourthly, find out how you are infected and know the reasons why you have become infected with HIV, so that you can target and take effective measures to prevent and control the re-infection of others.
Honestly, never thought about it, but have seen a lot of people with AIDS, and sometimes they act in ways that maybe you and I wouldn't expect!
- A young man in his early 30's once came to the hospital for surgical removal of a severe internal hemorrhoid and was about to be stopped pre-operatively when we operated on him! Because the preoperative routine showed that he was HIV-positive! To be honest, at that time, we were very surprised, and then was transferred to a specialized hospital to treat, that time to tell him, I feel that he was also shocked, pale and weak, and then came to see his friends, I heard that the first thing he asked are the same sentence: my things you know it!This statement was actually understood by everyone, the fear of being targeted by different eyes, and then the fact that he did in fact choose to avoid it more often than not, not see it!
- There are also some innocent weeping patients. It is true that there are quite a number of women who are unfortunate enough to suffer from AIDS because of their husbands' indiscretions in life.At this point I see more paralysis after a bout of stinking abuse, or even outright abandonment of treatment; I don't know what happened to the family afterward, but it remains predictable!
- There are also some unfortunate cases of AIDS that are sad and infuriating, such as the one reported some time ago about a child who was found to be HIV-positive after a blood transfusion and whose parents were negative.This kind of misfortune should not happen, and it is absolutely necessary to prevent it from happening at this time, and the incident of the "AIDS" village in Henan should not happen again!
But whether you asked for it or were unfortunate, I think it's the right thing to do!
Firstly, it is true that there is no particularly effective way to deal with AIDS, but it does not mean that having AIDS tells us that life has come to an immediate end!Clinically, you will find that from the time of infection to the stage of AIDS, whichThe duration of each patient varies from 4-5 years for a short period of time to more than 20 years for a long period of time.In the early stages of the disease, AIDS patients do not have any special symptoms, and we are basically no different from normal people, the main thing at this time is not to avoid, but to receive regular treatment! But once entering the AIDS stage, the survival period is indeed relatively short, if combined with some infections, then it may be even shorter!
Second, although there is no cure, there are six major classes of drugs currently available for the treatment of AIDS, such as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, integrase inhibitors, fusion inhibitors, and the co-receptor CCR5.And as you go along, more and more drugs are moving into the clinic, and you have a long transition period, there is just hope for patients! And.One thing is clear: current antiretroviral drugs can prolong the time between infection and actual AIDS! Time is life and at the same time time time is hope!
Thirdly, people with AIDS can effectively prolong the onset of the AIDS period in addition to early intervention, in fact, clinically, you wouldIt has been found that patients with different mindsets and different health conditions have completely different survival periods, and facing what has happened is not a compromise, it's a better way to live!
Note one thing:: Nucleic acid positivity in the early stages of HIV screening can be treated with drug interventions as early as possible after medical counseling and guidance, rather than waiting for a confirmed diagnosis to be reported!
Therefore, if you or the person next to you has HIV, please remove your different eyes, because it may indirectly shorten the life of the person; please early intervention as soon as possible, a day of life is a day of profit, not to mention that not a day or two things, maybe one day the eradication of drugs have been developed!
In fact, AIDS is not that scary! When you are not infected, you must be clean and not promiscuous, and even if you have sexual intercourse, you must take safety measures to protect yourself! Resolutely use condoms!
If you really have AIDS, don't be afraid, go to the CDC to get tested and diagnosed, take your medication regularly, and in our country, there are free medications for treatment!
Although AIDS cannot be eradicated at present, it does not have much effect on life expectancy if the medication is taken normally! Moreover, with the speed of development of modern technology, it should be possible to conquer AIDS in the near future!
Everyone needs to build up their confidence!
I specialize in HIV prevention and treatment at the CDC, so I'll answer that.
I am an AIDS worker and there is a possibility of HIV infection due to my work.
Let me give you an example first. In the course of a workday, as my office is on the first floor, a person with AIDS had shingles all over her arm, and then she reached right out and pulled me, which scared me at the time. Because her shingles had a lot of exudate, and I wasn't sure if I had a wound on my arm or hand, so our job is really kind of an elevated job, and there is a possibility of infection.
What will I do if I am accidentally infected with HIV? First of all, we have to build up confidence, because nowadays, the research on AIDS is getting more and more in-depth, and the level of treatment is getting higher and higher, and it has been changed from a terminal disease to a chronic disease that can be prevented, controlled and cured, and we have reasons to believe that in the near future, AIDS can be completely cured. Secondly, we should take medication on time and go for regular medical checkups. Only with active treatment can we delay the onset of the disease or prevent it from occurring. Again, we should exercise actively and refrain from doing things that will damage our immune system.
In the course of my work, I also often advise patients who have been diagnosed that we should take a positive approach to life and think about the fact that this disease is much better than cancer because the survival period for a diagnosis of cancer is generally only about five years, whereas when AIDS is diagnosed, as long as one sticks to his medication, his life expectancy is hardly affected.
I specialize in HIV prevention and treatment at the CDC, so if you have any questions about HIV related issues, you can follow me and ask me privately, thank you.
I am a Red Ribbon volunteer! I have come into contact with many infected people and have gained a deep understanding of AIDS from their causes of infection, routes of infection, and post-infection follow-up care!
First:If diagnosed with AIDS, the first thing is to adjust their mind, the mind is the most important! Maybe everyone treats the emergency situation of the mentality is different, but most people know the results of the beginning from the despair after the sadness and pain of fear and confusion in the overwhelmed, according to their own ability to adjust the mentality of the length of time is different! Some may be adjusted in a few days, some may be a few months, and a few have never been able to walk away from the fear! At this point in time, you can consult more with your doctor or someone at the CDC, who will provide you with help and comfort, as well as relieve you of your worries! Relieve the doubts and fears!
The second is to seek help from the relevant authorities, such as applying for free medication at your local CDC. Of course, before applying for free medication, you have to do a full body checkup to make sure that you are fit to take it before you can take it! The sooner you take the medication, the better it is for you! As long as the medication is taken consistently, Hiv carriers can have a normal life expectancy! They can also live and work normally! When the medication to a certain time, the viral load has been poor out of HIV, generally speaking, is not contagious to others!
Third, get regular checkups several times a year, and the CDC will do a viral load and cd4 test every year! You can go to the hospital and have your liver, biochemistry, blood work, and x-rays done! You can go to the hospital and have your liver, biochemistry, blood work and x-rays done! If you encounter any situation, consult your doctor for appropriate adjustments.
Fourth, usually pay attention to their own habits as well as diet, increase exercise, reasonable diet, do not drink alcohol and do not stay up late! Eat more fruits and vegetables as well as high-protein and high-energy foods! Improve your resistance and immunity!
Fifth, be a positive and optimistic person! If you have the time or the courage and love, you can volunteer to help more people in need! Let them know about AIDS and how to prevent it! Even if you are infected with AIDS, you should be strong and courageous! Do more good deeds!
Finally, I wish all my good friends good health! I also hope that those who are unfortunate enough to be infected with HIV will be optimistic and strong. AIDS is not scary, what is scary is that one is easily defeated by it, and what is scary is that people don't know about AIDS and discriminate against AIDS patients! So let's unite so that those who are not infected with HIV can reduce the threat and harm of HIV! Let those who are infected with HIV have confidence, be strong, optimistic and positive in their lives!
What if you're infected?
There are not so many ifs and buts in life.
AIDS is not as scary as it seemsAs long as you face it positively and cooperate with the treatment, your condition will be effectively controlled.
HIV nowpathogenesisIt's been studied.Very thorough.The doctor may be able to make an assessment of his or hervarious stagesCarry out treatment such as withreverse transcriptase inhibitorHIV-positivereverse transcription processInhibition; withIntegrase inhibitorBlocking the viral genomeintegrationin human chromosomes; withProtease inhibitors inhibitprotein chainshearing (force). The three drugs mentioned abovejoint useBetter results.
There are still good ways to treat the bodyHIV levelsPerform monitoring, such as the use ofReal-time quantitative fluorescent PCR methodThe titer or level of HIV in peripheral blood can be accurately detected so that the treatment can be readily understoodEffectiveness and progress。
HIV infection of human immune cellsEasily integrates its genome into the chromosomes of immune cellsin. Once inside it will lurk, and external forces will find it difficult to remove it, and willContinuous generation of new viruses. That's why AIDS treatment often requireslifetime use of drugs, can't stop.
Many people with AIDS aredrug addictsThey tend to sharehypodermic needle, so it is easy to be infected. Such a patient must be treated with aStop using drugs., otherwise the treatment will fail.
As long as treatment is adhered to, the life expectancy of an AIDS patient is not much different from that of a healthy person, soMust have faith.!
I would have instead let go and been happy with each day after I did get AIDS.
AIDS is an incurable disease, and since there is no way to change it, we can only adapt to him.
A man in the desert was asked what was the happiest thing in life, and he said: as long as there is water to drink, that is the happiest!
Yes, what is the happiest thing in life? To have it when you need it most is a blessing.
For example, when you are most sleepy, a comfortable bed is happiness, and then a luxurious villa, all you need is just a pillow, and when you are most hungry, when you are hungry, eating chaff when you are hungry is sweet as honey, and when you are full, eating honey is not sweet, and there are too many delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and how much can you eat alone.
So, in the last moments of my life, I won't have to be so stressed out about life and just try to live each day as well as I can in the limited time I have.
When you want to watch a movie, you can rest assured that you can watch it without having to watch an episode and think about whether or not you have to struggle a little bit more, the pressure of life follows you around, and you don't dare to waste your time every day, and now you can do what you like to do, go to bed and sleep naturally, and when there are things to do in the house, you can do your own efforts to complete them.
In a word, in the limited time, one does not have to be too nervous, calmly do something meaningful, and it is not a waste of one's trip to the earth!
What kind of question is that? I can't get AIDS! Because I'm self-respecting, I don't give blood, I don't have blood transfusions, I don't have promiscuity! No drugs!
